BrightFields Ranks 13 on the Environmental Business Journals 2009 Best Firms to Work For List

The Environmental Business Journal in partnership with Zweig White, has ranked BrightFields as one of today’s leading environmental consulting firms, number 13 on its 2009 list of the Best Environmental Service Firms to Work For, on the basis of employee surveys.

The Award

Firms on the second annual “Best Environmental Service Firms To Work For” list ranged in size from 18 to more than 1,000 employees. Seasoned firms, to firms in business for just short time, applied. Locations and services offered are across the board. The majority of these firms are growing and profitable, despite the current economy.

Every architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firm leader knows that talented, motivated, and dedicated personnel are the key to a firm’s success. The challenge, however, is not only attracting the best personnel, but also retaining, motivating, and cultivating that talent amidst the ongoing reality of position eliminations, salary freezes, and travel restrictions. In these challenging times, retaining and even more importantly motivating the best and the brightest talent requires firm leaders to continue to take the extra steps to create a great workplace-from compensation, benefits, recognition programs, training, social atmosphere, and firm culture that continues to inspire ongoing commitment.

“We are very proud of this recognition.  As a service company, our employees are our lifeblood. As a professional services firm, our product is our ingenuity, strategic thinking and customer focus. Anyone can collect a sample or drill a well, but we try to keep all of our team focused on what our client truly needs and how to get it to them.  I would like to thank all of our employees for the trust you show in us, “ said Mark Lannan, Principal.
